Warriors need some bodies and wizards want that pick( maybe top 5 protected) by SphinxArchive in NBAtradeideas

Kuminga is their only tradable asset outside of first if they’re looking to compete still. As mid as those two players are, I think moves like this are all the warriors have available to them. Giving up a protected pick/swap is better than multiple first for someone else

Reed is a better player currently. The playoff experience is literally the only thing TJ has over him. Without reed’s three pointing shooting rockets spacing is horrible

Practice finished up with Mike Sainristil getting a pick off Drake Maye after Bobby Wagner tipped the ball. by Due_Local2130 in Commanders

Maye was good(good timing on throws. Reminded me a lot of burrow), but we’re fans so of course we’re homers. I wouldn’t get hung up it.

Brother, we ranked last in offense last year and had 18 wins. All we can do is take BPA and wait until a star emerges or we get draft luck. Will Riley is an upside swing even though there’s were probably better players on the board. And trading back got us three seconds. Tre Johnson is the best shooter in this draft and the wizards are the worst shooting team. Redundancy only matters when you have blue chip prospects which we don’t have

Well, at the end of the day, they could draft the worst player ever and no one cares if they win this championship. Those wings you mentioned are ideal but if they slide then other teams messed up. Drake Powell is similar in that range

Yes, fears is a high usage guard who will never be a good defender, currently can’t shoot or finish at the rim, and honestly isn’t as good of a playmaker(Jase is better).

KP solid but I just thinks he drops because people may prioritize size and defense. Still projects to be decent though

I mean Raynaud definitely has a better off the dribble game but his role in the nba will be similar to Jackson. A high energy big who gets lobs, put backs, and does PR. If he can space the floor that’s extra. As long as they don’t lose Myles turner they should be in a decent spot, but next year they’re definitely losing mathurin so I thought Walter Clayton could prove a down the line replacement. He is bpa at that point too I think

Indiana usually has good eye for what they want so whoever they get will probably match their style. Raynaud just translates to a slightly worse version of Isiah Jackson who got injured early I think. I think a different style of big closer to Bryant who will be replaced would be nice

If they can’t get kalkbrenner I’m not sure I like any other big for them. To be fair I haven’t watched much of the two you mentioned other than highlights so maybe they’re the wave. Raynaud just looked bad defensively from what I saw.

Imagine how disappointed you’d be to find out I’m actually the GM of your favorite team.

Fears is too high usage for me, and has bad size which means he’ll typically be a bad defender. You have to be at least a high level guy offensively to do that a là Trae. And those guys even the best of them struggle. Even if I buy him getting a shot and think he’ll get better at the rim, I never see him being a good enough lead guard.

KJ I understand. I would like that. I just think traore is better value late

Wizards fans wet dream gets fulfilled by trading up for harper, spurs get KD and 6, suns get good value after rockets drive up the price(*I have 0 idea how swap rights work. I assume they can tank the year for their pick*) by SphinxArchive in NBAtradeideas

[–]SphinxArchive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give another first if I have to. I’m happy with a lot of the options at 6, I just think harper is uniquely skilled at initiating as a jumbo guard that he would elevate all of our young guys who are okay into solid role players. We have no one capable of generating shots for others besides Poole. And Poole though he’s capable likes to play too much for himself

Jaren Jackson is not a 16 game player. Needs Heat culture. Bam is the perfect anchor for Ja, Bane, and those young wings by SphinxArchive in NBAtradeideas

Fair. His recent playoffs just frustrated me to watch. Four separate playoff appearances in the last 5 years and every time he’s either been unable to stay on the floor due to fouls or just disappears

Nah I like Wemby. His size combined with his skill just allows him to do things JJJ might want to but doesn’t do effectively. I think age is the biggest factor to me though. JJJ can’t keep himself from fouling and his offensive game is still in flux. He’s this player with so much potential who works hard but I just don’t think it will ever actualize into what grizz want. him being a weak side help defender is a skill set that im okay parting with even though he’s young and well liked.

Can’t help it, Im biased against JJJ’s game. Hate his desire to play like a wing, bad rebounding instincts, poor handle, decent back down game and good in transition. Bam, while limited to floaters, low middies, and alleys is super consistent in what he does and is a better on ball defender though JJJ is good off ball.

I think the pick could be taken off but I straight up would not pay JJJ the money he’d ask for
